HoN. JUSTIN MCCARTHY, NJ. p, will
lecture tonight at the Congregational
Church upon "English Statesmen and
Orators" No living man is more com.
petent to speak with authority on such
a subject. Mr.. Mccarthy has been person
ally, and often intimately, acquainted with
all the prominent parliamentary figures OF
the last thirty years. He enjoys the respect
Of British tories, the confidence Of British
radicals, and the sincere affection OF British
liberals in every quarter OF the empire. lie
is ever responsive to the call Of new IDEAS,
and ever young in the enthusiasm with
which he pursues them. He is to the house
OF commons what Hon. $. 8. Cox is TO the
House Of Representatives pourer OF oil
upon troubled waters. lie is clear
thinker, charming speaker, and, upon the
whole, the most yariously distinguished
Irishman Of to-day.

Tho German Elections.

According to dispatches received up to a
late hour last night the elections for a new
reichstag have by no means been In accord
ance with the desires, or, rather, the de-
mands, of Emperor William and Prince
Bismarck. In six divisions Of the Berlin
electoral district candidates opposed to the
septennate bill have gained q majority, and,
although four OF that number must 60 to
another ballot, there seems little doubt that
the political sentiment of the capital city Of
Prussia, so far expressed, is in direct op-
position 20 the government.
1t is easy, however, TO make too much Of
this preliminary manifestation. Berlin,
like the great manufacturing towns OF
North England, is In a constant ferment of
radicalism. Skilled artisans Of the differ
ent trades have, through their various labor
organizations, acquired political knowledge
and strength which constitute the most
powerful antagonist Of Blsmarck's one-man
power, notwithstanding the stern meas
ures that have been taken to break up
meetings, to arrest politicians, and to con-
fscate socialistic, or any other form CT anti
septennate literature.
III is more tnan prooaOle tnat all the
agricultural and most Of the provincial dis
tricts will bow to the government mandate,
and Bismarck's concession to the vatican
will, by weakening Windthorst's following,
more than counteract popular successes in
the great cities Of the empire.
But whatever may be the immediate re-
suit Of the present electioneering there can
be no doubt that the war preparations In
France will exert powerful influence In
restraining even the most moderate desire
for political reform until the accomplished
facts OF Bismarck's policy shall have been
rendered so absolutely stable that no fur
ther danger to the Fatherland need be ap-
pretended from the eyer-recurring menace
Of French revenge. Bismarck's iron hand
has made German unity, and thousands OF
Germans believe that under existing cir
cumstances that same iron hand can alone
maintain 1t. This ia the main political ten
dency which makes for the success Of the
government In the present election.

A Plain Talk.

Editor Dorsheimer, In the New York iStdr,
in an editorial entitled "a Plain Talk" en-
deayors to give the President advice as to
the character and qualities Of the man that
he should appoint as Secretary OF the
Treasury to succeed Daniel Manning. 1t
is the fret time that the Star has had any
Independent views concerning the action
of President Cleveland. This change Of
front of the administration organ In New
York city will attract attention, and the
motives that inspired the change will be
the subject Of considerable speculation.
Can 1t be possible that the cordial and
able correspondence between the President
and Secretary Manning was not an honest
expression OF their feelings toward each
otherY
Does the editor OF the organ desire to ex-
ercise potential influence in the appoint
ment Of a successor to Mr.. ManningP Has
he at last found out that President Cleve-
land exercises his own judgment In the
appointment Of his Cabinet ministers?
1t is reported that the President asked
Mr.. Carlisle II he would accept the position,
and that Mr., Carlisle replied, II he was
rendered and accepted 1t, that he would ex-
pect to run the department upon his own
judgment. A very shrewd Democrat re-.
marked, after hearing the above statement,
"That settles Carlisle, for the President
knows full well that the people expect him
10 be President Of all the executive depart.
mepts Of the government, and will hold
him responsible for derellction Of duty on
the part OF any of his chief advisers"

According to Mr.. Munhall, by 1890 the
United States will become the richest coun-
try on the globe, under protective tariff.
Plttsburg Dispdtch' There might be some
chance Of avoiding the much talked of Eu.
ropean war II all the great powers had not
been getting ready for it so long that all
the preparations would be wasted II they
did not fight.
Boston Herald No one needs TO be told
that II Russia occupies Bulgaria, 1t will not
vacate that territory until it has secured
for itself pathway southwark for the re-
alization of its traditional dream, the un.
qualified possession Of Constantlnople.
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette; II It be
true that the Russian bear is only waiting
for the Gallican cock and the Teutonlc
eagle TO be pitted against one another to
push its Balkan projects, the British lion
may be compelled to enforce peace In the
menagerie.

Knoxville Journal: Unless all signs are
misleading, Senator Sherman will go into
the next Republican national convention
with heartier and more unanimous sup
port for the presidency than ever before.
| One Of his troubles has always been that his
own state did not give him full and hearty
support. 1t is conceded everywhere that II
he were nominated he would prove to be an
exceptionally strong candidate.
| New York Mail and Express: We had
the other day the report that Austria and
Russia were practically in agreement about
| Bulgaria. Russia therefore is easy on
that score, and now announces her inten
zion to take position which In case Of
war between Germany and France, and Q
German victory, will enable her to "atteu
uate" the calamity for France. She nigh
as well announce an alliance.

preaching death grapple between Francs
and Germany becomes almost an absolute
certainty, the Russian bear boldly point
